During my career as children’s photographer, I have rarely met a 1 year old baby being S O expressive! Francene was really one a kind! She was not only pretty, funny, cuddled and incredibly loved by her proud parents, but also she became like a young actress on stage, the moment after I took out my camera from the bag! Enjoy these cut and lovely photo memories! And Thanks to the Arellano family for posing in front of my lens!
During the dry summer season, it was a pleasure to take the camera in my hands to witness Adele & Cloe’s playful beauty and complicity. These girls ARE stunners, like their beautiful momma! A big Thanks to this family for braving July’s heat!

From my photo archives, back in the summer of 2017, Kristjana had just had her second baby boy. Luigi, the first one, was a beautiful little explorer, curious and relatively outgoing so it was quite easy to take them some candid shots in the park!
“Play is the highest form of research” – Albert Einstein
It was a pleasure to witness Zoe & Zeno’s busy activities in the garden! Enjoy these lovely shots, taken in June 2017!

Analog shots
Arianna was almost 2 years old when I took these shots of her (with an old film camera) and she totally was in the game: she was such a tiny, shining poser! The image (below) where she is carrying the bag wins it all!
I met Anisa in 2017, via a a mutual friend. She is a year younger than me and she always impressed me with her sweetness and resilience, there is so much light in her soul! Enjoy this beautiful photo memory which I cherish as I believe is one of the most outstanding services I have done.
Agata was 2 months old when I met her with her super momma Angela and granny. She was tiny but really present! With her little eyes she would brows around, trying to determine what kind of situation it was. Even though it was a late afternoon of early June, we did maximize the timing of the shooting as it was hot. We were lucky enough to take profit of a gorgeous summer light, fighting a bit to find some shadows. Enjoy this beautiful memory!
“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second” -Marc Riboud
I couldn’t agree more with this quote, especially when so much life and joy are running around you and your camera!
Mattia was 3 years old at the time of this photo session. He was super cute and he seemed already to be self-aware of his character, strong-willed and quite independent for his tender age. He displayed his natural talent for sport, his heart being close on side to his parents and on the other side definitely leaning onto the ball!
“A sister is both your mirror and your opposite” – Elizabeth Fishel
I have known Morena and Nina since they were little girls as, for a few years, I was their babysitter. In spring 2017 their momma asked me to take some shots of them and I couldn’t wait for it! These girls are not only beautiful, they both also have a strong character, and it always fascinating for me to observe their siblings bond, especially when it works well, as in their case!
Alice was dressed in a classic, perfect way and her eyes were really showing out her genuine soul! I enjoyed this photo session as the subject was feeling comfortable and perfectly fitting into the environment. Some of these shots, especially those edited in black and white, remind me of an early 20th century imperial princess…
“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life” – Isadora James
Arianna was tiny and expressive. Dressed up in her pink-princess-coat, she was in a good mood, willing to be taken in photos and curious about the new environment, the Botanical Garden, which proved to be a topnotch location!
